PAM 112 Base - A story - do the right thing?

[Bearxj86]

Hi everyone,

This is my first post on the Panerai side of the house. Here is a story and I would like to hear your recommendations.

About a year ago, I bought an Omega speedmaster brown dial sapphire sandwich for $3900 - came with an extra deployment strap and was a few years old in mint condition. Tried in on, didn't really like it (I guess I am not into Chronographs) and I ended up trading it for a PAM 112 full set to a really nice gentleman who pretty much loves Speedies and PAMs.

We kept in touch and a few months ago he pinged me saying he realized after trading that he had a strong emotional connection to the watch (the 112). It had accompanied him on some of some very significant life events including with his kids and while he already had the same model in Titanium (PAM 176) - he really wants it back. He also begged me not to sell it and he would reach out when he had the funds to buy.

He pinged yesterday and he has the cash. By this time I am both attached to the watch (it was my first Panerai) but he definitely wants/needs it more. Since then, the prices seem to have gone up to around $4500 to $5000 but I feel it is wrong to profit from someone's emotional needs.

Any thoughts? I am thinking to sell it back at $3900 and do the right thing here. I have plenty of nice watches and the PAM 112 doesn't get the most wrist time but I do like it very much.
